ice-capped peaks of Bayan-Olgii, the roaring river mouth at the
Yolyn am, the surreal white limestone cliffs at Tsagaan Suvarga and
the lush lakes in the Khuisiin Naiman Nuur Natural Reserve. Strap
up your boots and step down the rough and rewarding pathways of
Mongolia. Whether for hunting, fishing, horse riding or trekking,
most tourists come in the summer.
